DESIGN.Matrix.X: Get the model design matrix

In KarimOualkacha/PCH4Pedigees: Principal Components of Heritability for High Dimension Quantitative Traits and General Pedigrees

Description

This function calculates the model design matrix from the pedigree file.

Usage

DESIGN.Matrix.X(p, ntype, c1.COV, c1.traits, Ped)

Arguments

p	The number of quantitative traits that are used in the pedigree file.
ntype	Vector of integers. Its length equals to the total number of families used in the pedigree file. The ntype's entries are the total number of subjects within each family.
c1.COV	Integer number indicates the column from which the covariates begin in the Pedigree file. If there is no covariate in the pedigree file, this parameter should be set to zero.
c1.traits	Integer number indicates the column from which the traits begin in the Pedigree file.
Ped	Pedigree file with the first 5 columns should be in the following order: family IDs, subject IDs, father IDs, mother IDs and sex. If there are covariates in the model, they should be introduced after the five standard columns in the pedigree file followed by the quantitative traits.

Value

The model design matrix.
